Hello,

I'm doing some conceptual CAD of our robot and have found Inventor's contact solver pretty useful for simulating interaction between mechanisms and game-pieces. The one problem with this is it treats the boulder as a rigid body with no compression. Has anyone found any good way to model the deformation of the ball as you squeeze it? (preferably in Autodesk Inventor)
